[perl] pulling variables

Perl questions:


In my code I have the variable $custidno
now i take a file into a string, and I print it onto
the page, in this file there is the take $custidno.

the problem is, that it actually shows up in that form on the paper (the variable is not inserted if you read it from the file. )

How would I read it in such a way that it gets the proper value.

(not PHP: PERL)

PHP Code:

---

 sub get_page {
    open TL, "templates/cargo.htm"
      or die "Template not found! ($!)";

    while (<TL>) {
        $html .= "$_";
    }
}

It is easier to understand your question if you attempt proper grammar. Either use English, or use another language, but don't use both.

I'm guessing:

Code:

---

sub get_page {
    open TL, "templates/cargo.htm" or die "Template not found! ($!)";

    while (<TL>) {
        $html .= s/(\$\w+)/$1/eeg;
    }
}

You may only need one e, I'm not sure. Test it and see. This will replace any text in $_ that looks like a scalar variable ($custidno, $foo, etc).

thanks alot for the code.. ill see if it works

it didnt work. replaced the whole page oddly enough.
